It’s time again to show our love and support for the fabulous faculty and staff at AHS! Knight Network is providing teacher treats on Tuesday, September 25th. We are asking for Senior parent volunteers. Food donations can be dropped off in the AHS Front Office any time Tuesday morning after 7:00 AM. If you have a container you would like returned, please remember to label it. If you know what you plan to bring, please put that in the notes on the sign-up.

Calling for Hosts: The Parents of each grade-level class at Assumption hold a social FUNdraiser during the school year. The purpose is two-fold, an opportunity to meet other parents and raise money to purchase a gift donated to the April Knight Auction. The adults-only party is a relaxed, casual and social atmosphere. All class parents are invited to attend with a per person suggested donation.
Any parent wanting to can become a “Party Host” which involves an additional financial support to underwrite the cost of the party. This will be $100 total. All monies raised go to April Knight/Assumption High School. All areas of the school – academics, athletics, fine arts, technology, tuition and special projects are supported by April Knight – ALL students benefit. Please contact Susie Foster if you are interested or have any quesitons: susie.foster@assumptionhigh.org or 563-326-5313 x 281 Thank you!
The first Knight Network meeting of the year will be on Wednesday, September 12th at 7:00 PM in the Library. All parents are welcome!
Extended to ALL parents is an INVITATION to come together for an HOUR OF PRAYER every Thursday morning at 9AM in the beautiful AHS Chapel! Originated 8 years ago, the chapel continues to gather parents & AHS community supporters to lift to God our students, alumni, staff & extended community through the rosary and other prayers. Each student in the school is prayed for often & specifically by name. Students’ petitions submitted anonymously into the school’s “Prayer Boxes” are read out loud and prayed for. Please note that there is no obligation for your attendance every week—all “prayer warriors” are welcome whenever it works for your schedule! If you have petition requests, but are unable to attend, please provide your prayer request to one of our prayer leaders: Joanie Vonderhaar (563) 505-5420 or Laurie Verdi (563) 505-5189.
Dear Assumption Family and Friends,
We would like to invite you to become a member of this year’s Assumption Century Club. All Century Club members are invited to our Annual Steak Fry on Friday, August 17. Cocktails begin at 6:00 p.m. with dinner at 6:30 p.m. in the Assumption Courtyard between the gym and the auditorium. This event is free to all Century Club members. This event has been a great Assumption tradition for over thirty (30) years and a fun way to kick off the fall sports season.
As an added bonus this year, prior to the Steak Fry the varsity football team will be playing a scrimmage against Davenport Central starting at 4:30 p.m. at the St. Vincent Athletic Complex. We are encouraging all of our members to attend at least part of the scrimmage before heading over to Assumption for a fabulous steak dinner and a chance to hear from the Assumption coaches about their upcoming seasons.
The Century Club’s sole mission is to provide financial assistance to the AHS girls’ and boys’ athletic programs. Each year the Century Club helps support all of our team sports by funding new equipment, special projects and facility improvements. Last year alone the Century Club provided in excess of $28,000 in financial assistance to Assumption’s Athletic Programs.
Our AHS athletic programs enjoyed continued success this past school year. The summer of 2017 was a summer to remember! The AHS softball and baseball teams each brought home state championships in exciting fashion! In addition, our girls’ soccer team won yet another state championship this season (that makes seven (7) state titles over the past eight (8) years!). Numerous other AHS programs and individual athletes had outstanding seasons this past year. Your membership dues directly assist our athletes with accomplishing these amazing achievements.
PLEASE CONSIDER BECOMING A CENTURY CLUB MEMBER. The “Century” in our name signifies the amount of the annual dues – $100.00. However, a growing number of AHS supporters are choosing to become “Gold Members” for $200.00. Membership dues are TAX DEDUCTIBLE*. We strive to have a broad base of support across the AHS community, so either amount is greatly appreciated.
To become a member of the Century Club, we ask that you complete the attached CENTURY CLUB MEMBERSHIP FORM and return the completed form, along with your dues, to: Assumption High School, Attention: Century Club, 1020 West Central Park Avenue, Davenport, Iowa 52804. Checks should be made payable to “AHS Century Club”. If you have a student, you can elect to pay your dues as part of your school registration. Please see Membership Form for online payment option (convenience fee charged) as well!
As in the past, we will be raffling off some great prizes at the Steak Fry. Raffle tickets are available for purchase, 1 for $10, 3 for $25 or 8 for $50 by indicating your preference on the Membership Form.
Thank you for your support of our strong athletic tradition at Assumption!
